The original 948 with .10 off the head and bored out .20 that was
running fine when it was put away several years ago. Smoothcase
transmission, although I hope to get a ribcase.

=========================================
I have two ribcase trannies -- one that came with my Bugeye which I plan on
replacing with one of Paul A's 5 speeds and another in my 72 Midget that David
and Willie are using for the BABE rally.
I have no idea of the condition of the one that came in my Bugeye as it never
went on the road before the restoration started. David tells me the one from
the Midget needs work -- on the 2nd gear synchro, if I remember right. I
never drove that one either before giving it to them for the rally.
Anyhow, I will gladly donate one to the project if somebody can rebuild it
before the cluster starts. Anybody with the necessary skills want to tackle
that for the cause? (That is way over my head.)
Speak up and I will ship it to you.
